FOR THE NORRIS SCHOOL
In our art room we value and encourage self expression through the exploration of a variety of materials.
Students are encouraged to try new ideas and techniques and to take risks.
We believe that a safe, supportive environment for risk-taking and exploration
is paramount to a positive learning environment.
A famous 20th century artist, Pablo Picasso, once said
"It took me two years to learn to draw realistically.
It took me 40 years to learn to draw like a child again."
Three Musicians, Pablo Picasso

Fifth grade students researched endangered animals this year as one of
their library class projects. Their reports explained the top three
reasons why an animal was listed as endangered. They included factual
information such as adaptations, geographical range and numbers of
animals left in the species. The students brainstormed ways to help
the endangered animals and created posters of them with their art
teacher. Through their careful research and vibrant pastel paintings
the students are creating an awareness for the plight of numerous
endangered species. See our paintings at the Picasa website listed in
Favorite Links.
Thanks for viewing our paintings!
